A strong line up will go to post for the first 'Million' race of the Pune Season and a hard fought ace could well be on the card. Colours Flying, who had a rather inauspicious start to his career when he debuted in Pune last, will look to change that status. He was beaten as a hot favourite by araarat who stretched her winning tally subsequently. Colours Flying seems in good shape and his latest track movements have been encouraging and he looks a tough contender. 

Commander is another one who had decent debut in Mumbai finishing third to Armel, he bviously has improved further and his workouts do suggest he is in great heart. Chicharito ended third to Maple Star in his only run in Mumbai and is another one that looks well-prepared to take on his rivals. Que Sera Sera has been catching the eye in the morning track work, which is the only yardstick to  evaluate the youngsters' mettle at the moment and he too appears to be well in tune. Outside this quartet, Amazing Desire and Belmont would be lurking to push in with thier might and we certainly have an interesting tussle on hand. 

Yuville, who ended her Mumbai campaign on a winning note, has a bright chance to start her Pune stint on a similar note and has the form to back her claims. She is encountering a moderate opposition and enjoys the guidance of jockey C Rajendra who is  riding exceedingly well currently. With everything going for her, Yuviille shapes as the best bet of the day.
